The following table lists the three basic milling cutter geometries and the approximate priority of their use with regard to the type of machined material. More detailed information about individual tool families with consideration of insert geometries can be found in the catalogue section.

Number of Teeth on the Milling Cutter The number of teeth on the milling cutter is also important in relation to the width of the milled surface, where it determines the force (and acoustic) characteristics of the cut, as indicated in the following figure.
